The steam
advantage.
Hot water extraction is the method most carpet and upholstery manufacturers recommend — it removes soil rather than redistributing it, and our detergents leave no residue behind.
24 hrs
Typical drying time
01. Inspection & Prep
We identify the fibre type, vacuum out dry soil, and pre-treat stains and high-traffic lanes with eco-friendly solutions.
02. Heated Injection
Heated water and detergent are driven deep into the pile to break the bond between dirt and fibre.
03. Power Extraction
Suction nozzles vacuum the water straight back out along with the dissolved soil. The waste water is discarded.
04. Groom & Dry
Furniture is replaced and the pile groomed. Dry within 24 hours with good ventilation.
Drag the wand
Drag across the image to see what extraction cleaning lifts out of a pile. Years of foot traffic, grit and body oils come out with the water — and nothing sticky is left behind to attract dirt back.

Fifty years in the Helderberg
Whistle Steam Cleaners has been cleaning carpets and upholstery in the Helderberg Basin, Stellenbosch and Grabouw since the early seventies. Between the owners and our ten permanent staff, we hold well over a century of combined experience — and it is that team, not the machinery, that makes the difference.
